why wouldn't your buddy just pay you in cash next time he saw you?

  Your question can be answered by another question: why do we use credit cards? Why not use cash for everything?

    Answer: Credit cards enable the user to live beyond his or her means and cash does not.

      I only use my credit card as a payment method. Most online shops don't accept anything but credit card, and sometimes I just don't have enough cash with me and don't want to bother walking to the closest ATM. Credit cards allow you to loan money but I think that's ridiculous. I don't want to have a debt every time I buy something, I just want to pay immediately, with the money I already have, not with money that I don't have.

      A benefit (of cash) is that it allows anonymity -- excluding the cashier of course.
